Looking for breakfast ideas

Currently every morning I eat 2 pieces of whole grain toast with peanut butter. I would really like to add more fruit to my diet but I'm pretty fussy (only really like berries, don't mind cooked apple, just not raw). So fruit has been pretty non-existent.

So I'm looking for ideas of how I could change my breakfasts to be a bit better!

You're a chick and you probably don't want to gain weight, so just pick one out of the first three and combine it with the fruit. You can replace the fruit with wheat toast or a wheat bagel if you want but fruit is better for you.

We have fruit salad quite often, just buy whatever fruits/berries you like and cut it up in small pieces, serve with a yoghurt(we got a vanilla flavoured one), sprinkle some cinnamon on top for added flavour. Fresh and tasty. Takes 5 mins to throw together. You can add some nuts/honey/whatever to it as well if you like that.

The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

Oatmeal is good, but make sure you're getting something higher in fiber, or add high in fiber fruits to it. Fiber is what gives you that full feeling. Additionally, adding some protein isn't a bad idea either. Additionally, yogurt+skim milk+ice+fruit= a badass breakfast smoothie (need a blender). Especially if you're picky about fruits, since you can mask textures or flavors with other ingredients.

You may also want to get some professional advice on the subject. In a lot of my personal research on better eating, many people who are conscious about what they eat tend to eat too few calories. You need to make sure you get the right blend of good foods, along with enough fuel for your body (calories) to ensure a healthy weight.

What I usually eat is wholegrain cereal and low % fat milk, topped with a fresh apple Unfortunetly you don't seem to like apples so I guess you could change apples to berries. As far as oatmeal goes, it's a great addition to your breakfast if you're on a diet, however for my taste oatmeal was just not that good, felt too much like eating wood with milk, just not that tasty or enjoyable... But everyone has it's own taste, so perhaps you'll like them.

Fruit isn't nearly as good for you as people would want you to believe - the vitamins are neat and all but besides that fruit is pure sugar, and thus isn't really worth much except in moderation, and definitely isn't a great breakfast item. Stick with proteins and fats; bacon and eggs with some vegetables thrown in there. I like scrambling eggs up with spinach, artichoke hearts, peppers etc.

To the poster claiming "juices and dry foods" are healthy... lol. Just hilarious.

Fruits are just pure sugar but the sugar from fruits are better than any other carbs you can get. Not only do they have vitamins but they're absorbed slowly. Look up the glycemic index for individual fruits if you would like to see how fast they absorb into your bloodstream (lower glycemic index equals slower absorption time). Last I looked the glycemic index of strawberries is 1/3 that of the carbs from milk, which is already a pretty slow-absorbing carbohydrate.

While some fruits are much better than others (like strawberries, apples, most berries really), and definitely much better than your typical sugar/flour nonsense breakfast item, that doesn't make them the ideal breakfast food. It's still just fructose (though, again, far less than processed junk).

And I'd say that the carbs you get from vegetables generally are much superior to fruits.

Regardless, eat an omelette or something with some vegetables.

Vegetables have almost no calories. An entire bag of frozen broccoli (4 servings) has only 80-100 calories. You need to eat vegetables but you can get most of your daily carbs from fruit.
